¡Que Lindo!

No, not the missionary, the BABY!

In case you didn’t know, “¡Que lindo!” is an expression that means, “How cute!” and indeed this little guy was, but he is also quite a story.

Gaelyn Vladimir was born nearly a year ago with serious problems. In a difficult forceps delivery, his head and arm were damaged. The doctors expressed concern that he’d ever develop into a normal baby. Desparate, his parents called pastor Abel Can to pray, and that has made all the difference.

Now, you’d never know he’d been through such a trial. He’s a bright, inquisitive one year-old, who is a joy to be around. His parents, who’d strayed away from the church, are now active members, and, two weeks ago, they walked forward to dedicate themselves to raise Gaelyn in a Christian home.

For me, this was a Yucatán first. I’d never been asked to dedicate a baby before, but, as you can see, I had no need to be nervous, nobody was paying attention to the preacher!

Do your prayers matter? To Moisés they do! On the 25th of January, I asked the readers of discipleMexico.org and specific prayer partners to pray for the event, “Reconciling us with the Holy Spirit,” held at the church Eben-ezer, here in Mérida. Several responded saying that they would pray, and for Moisés it’s made all of the difference!

Following my sermon on the availability of the power of the Spirit, I had the pleasure of praying with Moisés. Durning the time around the altar, Moisés was one of those who received the Baptism with the evidence of speaking in tongues. Thanks, in part, to the prayers of those who responded, this youth can count on a new strength, the power of the Spirit!
